Great video man. I did something very similar to what you did. But rather than welding the greenteeth pocket tip to the original cutter base, I plug-welded the bolt holes in the wheel where they were mounted and then drilled new holes, to mount a set of straight greenteeth pockets instead. It adds a bit more weight to the rotating mass, which is great, and it cuts pretty quick. Thanx for the vid bro!!

Silicone works to , now what will you do if it's not that and still hunts?

Wtf what a poor design so pist this crap shouldn't be

Very good video! I noticed on both mowers (Ferris and exmark ) i saw the brass jet one said 43 and the exmark said 40 on the rim of the brass last night and was wondering why both would be exposed like they were and why nothing seemed to work that Iv done ( all maintenance and cleaning ) and still both surge and backfire ! I stumbled onto a forum and then to this video explaining exactly what I’m missing hahah . I appreciate the video again sir ! This blew my mind as I was not thinking or looking for the fix or anything to do with a Welch plug whatsoever ! The video was just there ! I now know I am missing these Welch plugs on both of my mowers!! Thank you ! Take care

Could you just silicone it?

BOOM!!!

My FR541V just started doing this, this weekend, except that it dies. Thanks.

you saved me a days worth of troubleshooting!!!!

Coming back to watch again so I can build 1 asap.

Awesome video. Thanks for sharing. I too have a similar issue and have done almost all the things you did. Never thought of the welsh plog. Thanks!

Thankyou Sir.

Ha, this is my exact problem. 23hp kawasaki on an Ariens IkonXD

Sir, you have given me back my sanity. My Kawasaki FX730V was doing the same thing. I found and covered the hole with my finger and it smoothed out. Found replacements on Amazon and ordered. My local dealers did not know what the Welch Plug was. Again, my thanks!

look like stainless Wells?

"it's the small foxes that spoil the vine"

Loved that, thanks for sharing, i have been a semi and refrigeration mechanic for 40 years, these fixes are so nice when you figure it out, i throw a fist in the air on the way home from work when it happens,,, and as manager for 28 years i pass along all those finds to my team. loved that find.

Thanks for the info! Just what I need to fix

wow. interesting!

I worked in a rental store for over 20 years. We sharpened stump grinder teeth all the time. Use a regular wheel for the steel, and a green wheel on a bench or diamond right angle grinder wheel for the carbide. I also purchased a stump grinder and sharpen my own teeth.

Thank you , I thought I had a governor problem. I used a machine screw with red high temp silicone. Works good.

Wow !

TY ! Same engine and issue on my 52” zero turn. 3 summers dealing with this and a large repair bill that did not resolve the surging that’s identical to yours !!! TY TY TY!!!!

I’ve got the same mower, same issue. Mines a triton 46”

Great video my friend. Could you please give me the diamond grinder wheel you used to sharpen greenteeth. Thanks pal

I'm looking to buy a stump grinder.this might be the one I get. I believe most stump grinders have cheap cutters. So I would upgrade to green teeth cutters

Thanks for the video! Buying new ones is getting expensive and I have a pile that need sharpened.

Walbro repair kit part number K1LMF includes new welsh plugs and is about 10 bucks. I had the same problem but my plug was just leaking not totally gone. A new plug and a smear of RTV over the top fixed the problem.

It would be nice to get a price.and a review after 10 stumps

I bought one also works great

Thank you. I’ve seen other people show that also. That’s good to know. My problem with my Kawasaki 18 horse is the mechanical fuel pump for some reason pumps more fuel than carburetor can handle. So it completely fills up the carburetor bowl and overflows out the top of the carb. So what I have done is put a fuel line restricter on it. However that hasn’t really solved anything yet.

You are aware that hawks are a protected species by the fed govt? The turkey can kill one but, you can’t. That includes falcons, hawks, eagles, and owls.

You are awesome

The scale of dumb designs in small engines is mind boggling. Ok let's be real, all engines. This is a great video saving a lot of headaches for many folks. Thank you.

Hey greatly appreciated my exmark just started surging as well that's the first thing I'm going to check God bless you you just saved me maybe a lot of time

So basically it's made to fail.

Thanks for the video - it was great. Saved me a lot of time and money. The welch plug was still there but 1/2 out, so just glued it back in and the engine surge was gone.

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU Skimpro2!! My metro mower starting doing this today while cutting. A few years back I had a coil pack go bad so I figured the other coil pack that was still original went bad. After troubleshooting that wasn't the problem. After I quick search on KZfaq I found your video and problem solved! My Welch plug was actually sitting sideways in that little tiny opening. Pulled it out, cleaned the area up a bit and put it back in. Runs like new again! I can't thank you enough for posting your findings to help other people out such as myself.

Could you give me a better description of the diamond wheel please? Where do i buy one? 40 mm is that the width of the wheel?

Cool 😎🆒️😎🆒️😎

Crazy tons of money and time spent come to find out it was a 25-cent piece

Thank you so much you are the man.

Can you send me the link for the diamond wheel

My hero!!!

Did you have to weld something to make this work or just replace bolts? I’m confused with welding comments below. 🙏

How much do the teeth cost?

Cut off & weld? That’s how you replace teeth?

Escaped death to only end up on the dinner table.

Forget about the trench, you have a beautiful piece of property.
